Develop the cutting-edge industry knowledge and skills that are essential for employment as a competent software developer with the potential to move into a leadership role.

RMIT's Bachelor of Software Engineering will equip you with a solid foundation in computer science and maths, and develop deep expertise in software architecture, processes, methodologies and quality frameworks. 

The four-year degree, comprises of two years of study, followed by a one-year industry placement before the final year of study. The work placement provides a unique opportunity to develop your professional and technical skills while creating and extending your professional network.

Working within complex software development environments, operating systems, communications, web software, databases and applications, you'll undertake studies in all facets of the software engineering process.

This degree focuses on the software development life cycle but goes beyond programming to assess and meet customer needs, and to design and test software. It covers studies on software analysis and design, coding, testing and deployment.

Developing software solutions often involves assembling extensive amounts of code into working applications, and updating and fixing problems in existing software.

Choose a software engineering degree if you:

• Want to develop large-scale software systems
• Want to create highly efficient products and systems
• Enjoy maths and systems design combined with computer science.

The RMIT School of Design is a recognised as an international leader in education, research and practice.

It is industry connected, socially grounded, and focused on the future practices of design.

At RMIT we contend that research is conducted through designing as a means of increasing knowledge, and that this process parallels research in other areas in fascinating ways.

Research candidates are supported and engaged in communities of design practice that share interests, discourses, and ways of doing things.

Upon completion of this program, you will have:

• Knowledge and understanding of one or more disciplines
• Advanced knowledge of research methods relevant to your field
• Theoretical knowledge and ability to reflect on critical theory.

You will also develop cognitive, technical and creative skills to:

• Investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems and theories
• Apply established theories to different practice or bodies of knowledge
• Generate and evaluate ideas and concepts
• Use and evaluate research and research methods
• Present coherent and sustained arguments, disseminating research results to different audiences
• Design, evaluate, implement, analyse, theorise and disseminate research that contributes to knowledge and practice.

As a graduate, you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge and skills:

• With creativity and initiative in new situations
• With high-level autonomy and accountability
• To plan and complete substantial research.
• The Master of Design may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode, a decision made in consultation with your supervisor.

Develop your advanced research skills and contribute to new developments in biomedical sciences.

We have a multidisciplinary research base that offers opportunities to conduct biomedical research in a range of areas.
Under expert supervision, you will develop your skills and join researchers already active in:

• Aquatic and marine biology
• Ecotoxicology (biomarkers for environmental pollutants)
• Environmental and molecular approaches to diagnose and develop solutions for disease, agricultural and environmental problems
• Genomics and sequencing techniques applied to various organisms
• Microbiology (food, medical and environmental biotechnology, vaccine development, fundamentals of pathogen/host interactions)
• Plant biology (plant biotechnology and genomics, molecular plant breeding, ecotoxicogenomics, fire and environmental ecology)
• Genomics and sequencing techniques applied to various organisms.

This master degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode.
RMIT has purpose built health and biomedical research facilities located  at our Bundoora Campus. Many research activities are conducted within the Centre for Environmental Sustainability and Remediation.

Develop specialist knowledge in quantitative measurement and the evaluation of safe radiation exposure for patients and staff.

Medical physicists are employed in the fields of radiotherapy, medical imaging, nuclear medicine and associated research and regulatory divisions of non-hospital institutions.
You’ll develop the skills to critically evaluate and optimise the performance of medical equipment and procedures and use your problem-solving abilities to analyse outputs, diagnose problems and provide quality assurance for patient treatments.

Using specialist knowledge in instrumentation, and quantitative measurement you will optimise the safe and effective use of radiation for patient care.

Using your initiative together with a high degree of independence, you’ll be instrumental in the evaluation and implementation of new technologies and in the translation of research into professional practice.

Medical physicists are important advisors to their team of professionals who often include oncologists, radiologists, therapists, technologists, biomedical engineers, allied health professionals and safety advisers.

Through the engagement of an international community of forward-thinking, practice-based academic researchers and professional designers, with the Master of Design Innovation and Technology you will join a dynamic learning environment that is in a continual state of evolution.

As innovation in design practice is positioned at the intersection of several disciplines, you will have the opportunity to address issues from a wide variety of professions such as engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, industrial design, service design, graphic design, animation, interaction, lighting, media and sound design.

Are you ready for an exciting career that lets you design, build and implement smart mechatronic systems which can be deployed within a wide range of engineering companies?

In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) degree, you’ll learn about mechatronics, robotics, advanced materials, automated systems and the simulation and modelling of manufacturing processes.

As automation replaces people in various industry sectors, engineers with experience in robotics and mechatronics will be highly sought after.
